The little bear tilted its head as if it was thinking about what this third beast said.
When the third beast saw this, it raised its paw as if it was about to slap the little bear.
The little bear revealed an angry look as it said, "What are you being so impatient about? I'm just trying to think about what to say."

The third beast narrowed its eyes if it didn't believe what the little bear was saying, but at least it lowered its paw and gave the little bear a chance to explain itself.
After a long silence, the little bear shook its head and said, "The spiritual energy concentration above is still unstable, it doesn't seem like the right time yet. The beasts that have developed above all seem to lack intelligence, they are all functioning on pure instinct rather than actual thought. If we were to go up now, it would take a lot of effort just to train them."
The beasts that were around this area all knitted their brows when they heard this.
The little bear then seemed like it thought of something before saying, "The humans seem like they've developed quite a bit. It isn't just these snacks, they've also developed strange techniques and physiques that we've never heard of before. We can no longer underestimate humans like in the past."
This time, the beasts around the little bear didn't take it as seriously.
The looks on their faces made it clear that they didn't seem to believe what the little bear was saying.
It also made it clear that they seemed to look down on the humans.
But the third beast that had been silently listening the entire time didn't have the same disdain as the other beasts. It had seriously listened to everything that the little bear had said and seemed to be lost in thought because of it.
Since this third beast didn't say anything, one of the beasts around them said, "Even if that's the case, I'm getting bored sitting down here all this time. We should still go back up to the world above and reclaim the land that belongs to us. It'll be a bit more work, but it's better than just rotting down here."
The other beasts seemed to agree with this as they all nodded in agreement.
But the third beast shook its head before saying, "It's not the time yet. Didn't you hear what fifth brother said? It would be a waste of time and too much effort to go up now. I for one am not willing to waste this time."
If it was anyone else who said this, the other beasts wouldn't have cared as much.
But since it was this third beast that said it...
After all, there was a reason why everyone was respectful towards this beast.
That was because this beast was the oldest and most powerful of them all.
The beasts regarded each other as brothers and they ranked themselves on which of them were the most powerful, which was how they decided the order of big brother to youngest brother.
This beast was the big brother that all the other beasts submitted to.
This big brother didn't force the others to follow it, but rather they willingly followed it because of how strong it was. That was just how it was in beast society where strength was all that mattered.
So they would find a way to get through this safely...
It was just that they really couldn't think of a single thing.
After a long silence, Ye Jian finally said with a sigh, "While we can't figure out a way to solve our problem, there are ways to delay the issue until we can figure out a solution. I think for now, that's the only thing that we can do."
Huo Wang revealed a complicated look when he heard this, but he gave a nod of agreement in the end.
While it wasn't the best plan, this was all that they had at this moment...
But they still couldn't help feeling that something was wrong.
It was as if there was something that they had missed...
It felt like there was some kind of disaster that was coming for them that they couldn't prevent...
Still, they couldn't figure out just what that was.
The only thing that they could do now was...
"Duan He." Ye Jian suddenly said and the door opened to reveal Sect Master Duan who seemed to be waiting outside.
With the way that Sect Master Duan waited outside, it was almost as if he was a servant of these two old men even though he was the sect master of the Martial Might Sect.
It was just that when he was in the presence of these two old men, he wasn't able to raise his head at all. It was as if there was some kind of mysterious pressure that fell down on him and completely suppressed him.
"Elders, is there anything you need?" Sect Master Duan said in a submissive voice.
Ye Jian gave a nod before he started laying out his plan for what would happen when the first round ended.
Sect Master Duan revealed a shocked look on his face when he heard this plan. Then after a bit of hesitation, he said, "Elder, if we were to do this...the other sects."
Ye Jian gave a snort as he said, "What do I care about what bugs have to say? Just get it done or else."
Sect Master Duan gave a bitter laugh deep down, though he didn't dare let his expression change on the surface.
Since Ye Jian had given his decree, it wasn't as if there was anything that Sect Master Duan could do. The only thing that he could do was go along with this and execute the plan that Ye Jian told him to execute.
So with a bow, Sect Master Duan headed out to take care of this matter.
When he was gone, both Ye Jian and Huo Wang knitted their brows as if they were worried about something.
But in the end, Ye Jian said with a sigh, "This is the only thing that we can do now."
Huo Wang gave a somber nod in response.
